| Pokemon Go (to South Jersey) |
If you own a smartphone, you may have heard about this game called Pokemon Go. Within days of its release in the United States it became a national phenomenon. Here in New Jersey, we're blessed with several wonderful sites to play locally, but one of the best is in South Jersey. Jen and Scott Kitchen will take up to three Pokemon Go players to the Red Bank Battlefield in National Park, NJ, to hunt Pokemon in their natural environment on the banks of the Delaware River. And since Pokemon hunters will be hungry after their day's exertions, the trip will be followed by a trip to either The Pop Shop (retro diner with excellent ice cream sundae desserts) or the Iron Hill Brewery (excellent brewpub with food to match), depending on the age/wishes of the winners. | 3 | 1 | 000060.0 | 60 | .0003E7 | 30 | 4/29/17 10:30 AM | |
